Yes.

My old Ti PowerBook has it hidden because the resolution -- 1152x768 -- is so low. But on my 20" display I keep it visible all the time so I don't have to deal with it constantly sliding in and out. Annoying!

Left and hidden. No accidentally hitting it when going for resize widget on windows this way. Also don't have to worry about "bad apps" that size their windows below the dock making access to some of the window impossible.

Hidden because the size of an iBook screen is quite small; every pixel counts.

I always place my dock on the bottom, since the aspect ratio of computer monitors, particularly wide-screen monitors such as the one on my powerbook, provides the user with more horizontal space than vertical having the dock on the bottom lets you access it with much less mouse movement. I change the visibility regularly based on what I'm doing with the computer, but I usually leave it hidden.

bottom right. always visible, 16x16 icon size, NO ALIASES, so it ONLY shows running apps and minimized windows. heck, at that size, you can't see the "application running black triangle" anyway. I then use Dragthing to be by app launcher slide-out drawer on the screen side.

Interesting how people see the same things differently. For the same reasons as you as far as vertical and horizontal, I keep my dock on the left. My reasoning is there is now more vertical space for web pages and documents. Most documents are vertical in nature, so I feel like I am cutting off the document by using that space for a dock. But to each their own as they say.

- muting the speaker when Air America Radio's stream goes to commercial and plays the damn identical Muzak over and over

- typing a carriage return when my keyboard isn't on my lap since the damn address bar in Safari doesn't have a "go" button

- a "Wiki" macro for doing a Wikipedia lookup on whatever text is selected in Safari (next on the list is a "add 'http:/ /' to the selected text and Google it - Safari doesn't recognize "www.xxx.com" as a URL unless it has the freaking "http:/ /" on it, so you have to Google the "www.xxx.com" and then tell Google yes, that is the website I want)

- invoking Snapz Pro so I don't have to reach up and get a hernia pulling the keyboard down onto my lap

- zooming in and out, although I made the fourth mouse button do that as a toggle using QuicKeys together with USB Overdrive

12" iBook with 24" external display on the right side. Dock on the right, pinned to the top. Very small magnification for visual feedback. Size such that the Dock almost covers the height of the screen and gives the biggest possible click targets. When I'm away from home, once in a while I hide the Dock to get more space.

Generally Bottom and always Visible. Occasionally hidden temporarily, depending on what's going on with the rest of the screen at the moment, but always return to always visible when the task is completed 8).
